Growth at Cold Temperature Increases the Number of Motor Neurons to Optimize Locomotor Function (Current Biology)
 


Spencer et al. discover that Xenopus larvae reared in cold temperature are better equipped to escape upon touch at cold temperature relative to warm-grown siblings. This advantage is dependent on the cold-sensitive channel TRPM8, which is necessary for increased Ca2+ spike frequency in embryonic spinal neurons, their differentiation, and survival.
